Hello,

Our April picnic was very well attended. Even though only 18 of our association members were present, we had around 60 guests that had a great time with their children and families. I would like to thank  Gloria, Destiny as well as  Jeanne and Grisel for their efforts to make this event successful. Next year our April event will take place at "The Pines of Windermere". The board has approved that this to be a SUMMER KICK OFF party with a DJ, food, drinks, outdoors sports and dancing. It will start early afternoon and finish in the evening. It will take place on Sunday April 22, 2012. We are giving you early notice so you can start planning for this new special event.

We almost have all necessary speakers for the educational session at the Hammock Beach Resort. They are still some speaker's spots but they are rapidly filling up. For those interested please contact Dr. Luis Herrera as soon as possible at his cell phone (407-401-2203) or his e-mail Luis.Herrera@orlandohealth.com. We expect that in the next two weeks the schedule will be settled. 

We are still looking for exhibitors. Please if you know of any company that can be of assistance, please contact us at your soonest convenience.

For the Labor day Dinner Banquet we will be Cruising on" PAMA on the Seas ", so bring your Tommy Bahamas outfits. The Bohemian night will have a Karaoke/DJ , if you have any particular songs you wish to sing let us know to make sure we have it on the list, we also encourage to bring your instruments to hear  you playing and singing.

Our board meeting took place this last Wednesday and another meeting is planned for the second week of June. The minutes are on the website. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know.

Sincerely,

A reminder that the Picnic at Camp Ithel is scheduled for April 30. Jeanne Herrera, Gloria Neghme and Grisel Balaguer have been working very hard to make sure that everybody who attends has a good time. So far the number of people who have reserved has been below average. For those who wish to attend, please call us as soon as possible , we want to make sure that we have all the appropriate provisions for a enjoyable picnic. In the board meeting we discussed restructuring this Event for next year including the possibility of a new venue. We will keep you posted.


Dr. Luis Herrera has been working on the educational conference for the labor weekend. We expect to have out a list of lectures by June.(Hopefully sooner). We are also requesting that if any of our members knows of any company that would like to be an exhibitor for the labor day weekend to contact me at glo532@yahoo.com. As you know the contributions by the exhibitors help the association fund its activities and keep the cost down for all of us.


The theme for this years labor day weekend dinner and party will be a "Caribbean Cruise ". Arrangements are in progress to make sure that we have a fun night on board of " PAMA on the Seas ".

Calling for pics - 2010-12-09

Dear members and colleagues:

Thanks to your participation we had a great Doctors Day Gala this past Saturday.  Unfortunatelly, I left my camera at home, and could not take any pictures of the activity.  I will appreciate if some of the members can e-mail (segarrat@gmail.com) me a group of pictures so I can post them for everyone in our internet site. Many blessings to everyone during the holidays, Merry Christmas, and a happy and prosperous 2011.
